  • Where is the dvd its not on your website? Is it still being worked on?

  • @BOBBYSTACCATO Thanks for asking. I'm going thru a divorce and this will be available again after that is finalized (legal stuff). Thanks for listening!

  • whats the name of the song at 2:55 ? btw really good and informative video!!!!!

  • Hey, man, and thanks for listening! The song at 2:55 is the same song 'I Do' that I was playing in the video - which is exactly my point - don't confuse the melody and lyrics (which is the "song") with the arrangement. Watch it again and you'll hear and see it.

    Thanks again for watching!

  • Great teacher! Yes I know it's edited but if I had a music teacher that animated, I would have actually learned something.

  • He had a very very good point. If only person likes my music, then my job is done. The most important one person is me! Enjoy what you do, someone else will too. Thats a fact. Be yourself, it is originality. Trying to copy people, well isn't that whats wrong with this world in the first place???

  • good video, except for text animations

  • tom waits?

  • Any word on when and where the DVD will be available?

  • Best video about writing music that i've seen on YT (until now). Simple and effective. Thanks a lot!

  • I LOVE THOSE STATISTICS AT THE END! I DEFINITELY NEEDED TO SEE THAT! THANKS!

  • that rythme was cool as shit

  • asw vid

    

  • That was good!

  • Thanks for this! This was a good video. Especially the part about the Idiot Brigade. I've already written quite a few songs for myself (but unfortunately, I've only had the resources to record and upload a few thus far), but I still found this helpful. It's a good reminder that I need to stop listening to other peoples' suggestions so much and instead just do whatever I want to do.

    TL;DR: You = win. Thank you :)
